Umojah Sound System

Umojah Sound System

Promoting conscious vibes through roots & culture Umojah Sound System was started in 2016 by members Chiggy Parmar, Jay Shaka, Rigmasta Joe & Dread Steppa.

It is the first reggae / dub style sound system of its kind, custom-built in Kenya. After spending several years pushing the roots & culture movement, they decided it was time to build and deliver the conscious vibes over the mighty, original style sound system.
